How is it looking now? Are you healing okay?

It looks exactly the same except now there is a huge red rash around it from the bandage, apparently I was allergic. I'm going in this Thursday to get the stitches out.

Kat - you are so funny. It's hardly that gross. Are your friends really freaked out by it?

Hate those bandage adhesives... I am alergic, too.

Hugs!

I like the way your brain works. Keep up the good work and thanks for the laff!

I too am allergic to adhesives. Some of the worst pain I felt around the surgery was when they pulled the Patches off, and my skin went with them. :)

Incision looks great - healing nicely. :)

The softies at work get all grossed out just when I talk about it. I asked one of them to come in the bathroom and help me change the bandage, and she couldnt do it. Some of my students found it fasinating though!

I finally took the bandages off, and I started putting a pillow case over it...and using my boobs to hold it in place (reason #254 for saggy boobs) :heh: And the last 2 days I have just gone with out a bandage because my skin couldn't take it any more... I get the stitches out tomorrow...whoo hoo!

well this isn't my first port incision, this is the incision from the revision surgery. my first one looked a lot worse too.

I'm dissapointed the doc only took out 2 stitches, put on 4 steri strips and told me to come back next week to get the rest of the stitches out, bummer. :speechles

I'm so lucky....my scars are visible but don't look too bad at all.....my port incision is very thin and still slightly purple.
